Evaluation of lacrimal drainage system by radionuclide dacryoscintigraphy in patients with epiphora
Introduction: This study was done to determine the site of obstruction in lacrimal drainage system in Asian patients suffering from epiphora and to determine the transit time taken for the tracer material to reach the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. Methods:Dacryoscintigraphy was performed using radionuclide technetium-99m pertechnetate (99m...
متن کاملEpiphora and the bony naso-lacrimal canal.
IT is possible to obtain a radiographic view of the naso-lacrimal canal "end-on" by directing a beam of x-rays down the axis of the canal to a film held horizontally in the mouth: the centre of the film is placed near the site of the first molar tooth (Brunetti, 1930; Kopylow, 1930; Toth, 1933), or the second pre-molar. Examples of such radiographs are shown in Figs 1, 2, and 3. The present inv...
متن کاملDacryoliths causing intermittent epiphora associated with a patent lacrimal system.
We present two patients with dacryoliths and patent lacrimal drainage with intermittent tearing and without infection. Dacryoliths can be present in the lacrimal sac or lacrimal duct without acute or chronic inflammation. In these cases, we believe dacryolith formation was a causative factor of intermittent epiphora even with a patent drainage system, and we propose that dacryoliths and even fu...
متن کاملCase Reports of Lacrimal Sac Tumors Discovered in Patients with Persistent Epiphora Following Dacryocystorhinostomy
Dear Editor, Recently, we experienced two cases of lacrimal sac tumors discovered in patients who presented with persistent epiphora after receiving dacryocystorhynostomy (DCR). A 75-year-old female visited the clinic complaining persistent epiphora in the right eye for 5 years. The patient was diagnosed with nasolacrimal duct obstruction in the right eye and received a DCR twice 2 years ago at...
متن کاملClassification of Lacrimal Punctal Stenosis and Its Related Histopathological Feature in Patients with Epiphora
PURPOSE To evaluate the classification of punctal stenosis based on the shape of the external punctum, clinical characteristics and histopathologic features. METHODS Patients who experienced tearing and were diagnosed with punctal stenosis were evaluated in this study. Punctal stenosis was classified according to the shape of the lower external punctum, which included membranous type, slit ty...
